- 0:03Speaker 1: This is the Ember show, your host's Ember. First and foremost,
- 0:06Speaker 1: let's get into prayer. Lord Father that arts in heaven.
- 0:09Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer to be able to
- 0:10Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit be able to speak through this
- 0:12Speaker 1: might and be able to go through the listener's ears
- 0:15Speaker 1: and be able to reach their hearts and minds and
- 0:17Speaker 1: be able to apply these verses to their lives. And
- 0:20Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ's name. I pray a men. So
- 0:23Speaker 1: we're gonna be in Matthew chapter twenty seven on this episode,
- 0:27Speaker 1: I highly encourage you to grab your Bibles or get
- 0:29Speaker 1: on your Bible app and read along as you hear along,
- 0:31Speaker 1: or you can just listen.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Just try not to be distracted.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Let's soak in the Word together today or this afternoon
- 0:39Speaker 1: or tonight, whatever time it is where you are at,
- 0:43Speaker 1: be present, and let's get into it. But first and
- 0:47Speaker 1: foremost as well, I wanna be able to just thank
- 0:50Speaker 1: you the listener, for pressing play and giving me some
- 0:53Speaker 1: of your time and allowing the Holy Spirit to speak
- 0:56Speaker 1: to you versu of the day. Before we get into
- 0:58Speaker 1: Matthew chapter twenty seven is John Sorry John, Chapter one,
- 1:03Speaker 1: verse fourteen. The Word became human, he lived among us.
- 1:08Speaker 1: We saw his great glory. He has the glory of
- 1:13Speaker 1: the Father's one true son. He is full of God's grace.
- 1:18Speaker 2: And his truth.
- 1:21Speaker 1: God becoming flesh right allowing his son to come here
- 1:23Speaker 1: in human form, and anyone that has the relationship with
- 1:28Speaker 1: him obtains the Holy Spirit. I want to also mention
- 1:32Speaker 1: that there are a lot of different perspectives on how
- 1:37Speaker 1: to study the Bible read the Bible. There's so many
- 1:42Speaker 1: different belief systems. There's religious organizations. I want to make
- 1:48Speaker 1: this clear that this isn't religion. When it comes to me,
- 1:54Speaker 1: I don't necessarily understand the Bible one hundred percent. I've
- 1:59Speaker 1: read it from front to back, and I've studied it consistently,
- 2:05Speaker 1: not as much as I probably should have. But I
- 2:08Speaker 1: can't live in the past. I'm living in the president.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I can't think too much in the future. Tomorrow's not promised.
- 2:15Speaker 1: What today is right now. And His word is forever,
- 2:18Speaker 1: and those that follow Christ must just believe it and
- 2:22Speaker 1: study it, sleep on it as well. And that verse
- 2:29Speaker 1: in particular got one point three hundred and twenty.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Eight thousand hearts.
- 2:36Speaker 1: And when we get into Matthew chapter twenty eight, actually
- 2:43Speaker 1: we've done twenty seven, it's going to be Jesus becomes
- 2:47Speaker 1: alive again. So Matthew chapter twenty eight, Verse one states,
- 2:51Speaker 1: after the day of rest had finished, Mary from magdal
- 2:56Speaker 1: and Mary the mother of James, got up early. It
- 3:01Speaker 1: was dawn on the first day of the week. They
- 3:04Speaker 1: went to the grave hole in the rock where Joseph
- 3:08Speaker 1: had put the dead body of Jesus. At that moment
- 3:13Speaker 1: there was a strong earthquake. One of the Lord God's
- 3:18Speaker 1: angels came down from heaven. He rolled the big stone
- 3:21Speaker 1: away from the hole and the rock. Then he sat
- 3:25Speaker 1: on top of it. Now, this is what you need
- 3:30Speaker 1: to understand, is that the Holy Spirit came from heaven
- 3:36Speaker 1: and rolled the stone. See, a lot of people might
- 3:39Speaker 1: interpret it like, oh, Jesus himself rose from the dead
- 3:43Speaker 1: and he rolled over the stone. No, God's Angel did.
- 3:51Speaker 1: And the Spirit, the Holy Spirit rose Jesus from the
- 3:56Speaker 1: dead and glorified him even here on earth.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Go back up to Heaven. So let's get deeper into it.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Verse three.
- 4:05Speaker 1: The angel stone brightly like light the angel stone brightly
- 4:10Speaker 1: like lightning.
- 4:11Speaker 2: His clothes were very white like snow. Verse four.
- 4:17Speaker 1: The soldiers who were carefully watching that place were very frightened.
- 4:21Speaker 1: They suddenly fell down on the ground as if they
- 4:24Speaker 1: were dead. Verse five. Then the angel said to the woman,
- 4:28Speaker 1: do not be afraid. I know that you are looking
- 4:32Speaker 1: for Jesus. The soldiers killed him on a cross, but
- 4:36Speaker 1: he is not here. He has become alive again. This
- 4:41Speaker 1: is what he said would happen. Come here, you can
- 4:45Speaker 1: see the place where he was lying.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Seven. Then you must go quickly to his disciples.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Tell them Jesus is alive again and he is going
- 4:56Speaker 1: to galley.
- 4:57Speaker 2: You must also go there. You will see him.
- 5:01Speaker 1: That is the message that I have brought to for you.
- 5:07Speaker 1: So allowing the verses to really be implied to our lives,
- 5:15Speaker 1: right that even.
- 5:16Speaker 2: When you think that you're dead, you're done.
- 5:20Speaker 1: You're done for you know relying on God Jesus in
- 5:23Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit to be able to rise you from
- 5:26Speaker 1: any situation. You're not done. You're not a loser, You're
- 5:32Speaker 1: not crazy. Don't let what other people have told you
- 5:36Speaker 1: and what you even think of yourself or feel about
- 5:39Speaker 1: yourself really contradict who you really are in God's image.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Understand that when we're talking about Jesus is alive again,
- 5:51Speaker 1: and he's going to galley. He had to make an appearance.
- 5:59Speaker 1: He had to show not only the disciples that loved
- 6:03Speaker 1: de and was dear to him and close, but.
- 6:08Speaker 2: For those that doubt it, for those that still.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Had an opportunity to turn their lives over to Jesus. Now,
- 6:17Speaker 1: I understand that this is a lot to take in.
- 6:19Speaker 1: This is a lot to comprehend. And that's why it
- 6:21Speaker 1: also says in the Bible, do not lean on your
- 6:23Speaker 1: own understanding and your own emotions. This is also where
- 6:27Speaker 1: faith comes in. Allow faith to be able to take
- 6:31Speaker 1: your place of fear and doubt and shame and guilt,
- 6:34Speaker 1: and watch and see what the Holy Spirit does.
- 6:37Speaker 2: It's like what it did for Jesus. Verse eight.
- 6:39Speaker 1: So the women went away quickly from the grave in
- 6:43Speaker 1: the rock. They were very frightened, but they were also
- 6:47Speaker 1: very happy. They ran to tell the disciples and sorry.
- 6:52Speaker 1: They ran to tell the disciples the angel's message.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Verse nine.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Matthew Chapter twenty eight states at that moment Jesus met
- 7:00Speaker 1: the two women, and he said hello. They went near
- 7:04Speaker 1: to him, they held on to his feet, and they
- 7:08Speaker 1: worshiped him.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Verse ten.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Then Jesus said to them, do not be afraid. Go
- 7:15Speaker 1: and tell my disciples to go to Galli. They will
- 7:19Speaker 1: see me there. Do not be afraid is repeated in
- 7:23Speaker 1: the Bible so many times. Because the stress and the
- 7:28Speaker 1: pressure of this life and we have to live up
- 7:32Speaker 1: to these standards right of society and of our loved ones,
- 7:37Speaker 1: that we tend to be fearful and get afraid that
- 7:42Speaker 1: we're not where we're supposed to be.
- 7:44Speaker 2: But we're right exactly where.
- 7:45Speaker 1: We need to be in order for God to be
- 7:48Speaker 1: able to see us and be able to be with us.
- 7:53Speaker 1: The spirit of the Lord can be with you. You
- 7:57Speaker 1: can also push it away. You can also go worship
- 8:01Speaker 1: other idols. You can also go do things with your life.
- 8:04Speaker 1: That's why it's also free will that was given to us.
- 8:08Speaker 1: God didn't want robots to just be Oh, I have
- 8:12Speaker 1: to do this, I'm programmed to do this.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Right.
- 8:15Speaker 1: He wanted a willing heart. And there's millions of willing
- 8:20Speaker 1: followers of Christ, even on this earth. So even though
- 8:23Speaker 1: there are billions of people on this earth, yes, and
- 8:26Speaker 1: there is evil in the world, yes, but there is
- 8:29Speaker 1: also heavenly people walking in the authority of Christ and
- 8:35Speaker 1: putting on that consciousness of Christ each and every day.
- 8:39Speaker 1: However you do it in prayer before you start your day,
- 8:41Speaker 1: during the day, at night regardless, give that time to
- 8:45Speaker 1: the spirit and allow the.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Spirit to be able to take over.
- 8:49Speaker 1: And we'll go ahead and close out here after a
- 8:51Speaker 1: couple more versus. The soldiers receive a bribe to tell
- 8:55Speaker 1: lies about Jesus's body verse eleven. The women went to
- 8:59Speaker 1: tell the disciples Jesus' message. At the same time, some
- 9:03Speaker 1: of the soldiers who had been guards at the rock
- 9:07Speaker 1: also went.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Into the city.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Soldiers told the leaders of the priests everything that that
- 9:11Speaker 1: had happened.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Verse twelve.
- 9:13Speaker 1: The leaders of the priests and the important Jews met together.
- 9:18Speaker 1: They decided what they should do.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Now.
- 9:20Speaker 1: They gave the soldiers a lot of money as a bribe,
- 9:22Speaker 1: you know, like a bribe to honestly be.
- 9:27Speaker 2: How can you bribe.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Someone as a soldier that has seen something like this,
- 9:36Speaker 1: Like they really think that the money was going to
- 9:39Speaker 1: be able to hide the soldiers eyewitnesses.
- 9:45Speaker 2: To what they seem like.
- 9:46Speaker 1: It's just I don't know, that's just a really applauding
- 9:50Speaker 1: to me, like not applauding, but it's very appealing. Sometimes
- 9:56Speaker 1: I don't use my words correctly.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Forgive me, they said to.
- 10:00Speaker 1: The soldiers, when people ask you, you must say this.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Jesus' disciples came to the rock in the night and
- 10:06Speaker 1: they took his body away.
- 10:08Speaker 2: We were asleep. Then they did this.
- 10:11Speaker 1: If the Roman ruler Pilate hears about this, he will
- 10:16Speaker 1: explain things to him. Do not be afraid. He will
- 10:20Speaker 1: not punish you. So they're trying to cover up what
- 10:24Speaker 1: the spirit did raising Jesus from the dead, you know,
- 10:29Speaker 1: and discrediting Jesus again.
- 10:31Speaker 2: And that's what we face in this world today. I mean,
- 10:35Speaker 2: there's billions of people that do not believe in God.
- 10:39Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that don't follow God. They don't.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Understand, so they lean on their own understanding. And even
- 10:51Speaker 1: those that prosper and that they're doing great in life,
- 10:54Speaker 1: sometimes there comes periods of their life where they feel empty.
- 10:59Speaker 1: That's why you hear a lot of stories about people
- 11:01Speaker 1: that have it all, but they feel nothing at all.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Oh that's deep, all right, Spirit, let's go a little deeper.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Let's go a little deeper. We're going to close out
- 11:10Speaker 1: with this one. The soldiers took the money. They told
- 11:13Speaker 1: people what the Jewish leaders told them to say. Many
- 11:16Speaker 1: Jews had the Soldier's story. Even today, they still believe
- 11:21Speaker 1: that it happened like that. It's amazing. It's amazing to
- 11:28Speaker 1: think of what really transpired back in that time. Regardless,
- 11:34Speaker 1: we have different perspectives, right, and I've been really focusing
- 11:41Speaker 1: on this in my recovery, is looking at other people's perspectives,
- 11:45Speaker 1: not necessarily believing their perspective right, but still respecting their perspective.
- 11:51Speaker 2: I also believe.
- 11:52Speaker 1: That God has a very unique timing in everyone's journey
- 11:57Speaker 1: in this life to not only given invitation to accept
- 12:03Speaker 1: His son Jesus Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to
- 12:05Speaker 1: work within them, but to see how far they can
- 12:08Speaker 1: really get without Him and leaning on and not only
- 12:12Speaker 1: their understanding and their emotions, but leaning on demons that
- 12:16Speaker 1: are controlling their bodies, their lives, their minds.
- 12:19Speaker 2: I mean, we can go down the list.
- 12:21Speaker 1: And being that I have witnessed both sides of living,
- 12:29Speaker 1: I only have two minutes, so I want to just
- 12:31Speaker 1: kind of get I want to dig deep into this because.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Even the most strongest.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Followers of Christ, as it's said in the Bible, the
- 12:41Speaker 1: disciples even had doubt after seeing all the miracles, you know,
- 12:46Speaker 1: and it's leaning on your own understanding. How do you
- 12:50Speaker 1: get out of your own understanding? Well, it's being able
- 12:53Speaker 1: to get out of self right and being able to
- 12:58Speaker 1: get into the word of God. Pray to Jesus, praise
- 13:04Speaker 1: Jesus as well, and watch what he.
- 13:07Speaker 2: Reveals to you.
- 13:10Speaker 1: The thing that I want you to really get out
- 13:15Speaker 1: of this episode in particular, is that.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Jesus is king.
- 13:22Speaker 1: And he can do all things, but you have to
- 13:26Speaker 1: look at him, you have to think like him, you
- 13:31Speaker 1: have to act.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Accordingly like him. And it is acting sometimes.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Because truthfully our self nature wants to do what it
- 13:39Speaker 1: wants to do. So it's almost like a performance because
- 13:45Speaker 1: you're not really controlling your life when you allow the
- 13:51Speaker 1: spirit to rule your life.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Amen.
- 13:53Speaker 1: And it's a better way of living. It's also a lifestyle.
- 13:58Speaker 1: It's a choice. We all have these choices to make
- 14:03Speaker 1: each and every day. There's no amount of number of
- 14:06Speaker 1: how many choices we have to make. And it's not
- 14:08Speaker 1: just oh, what kind of clothes I'm gonna wear, what
- 14:10Speaker 1: kind of food am.
- 14:11Speaker 2: I gonna eat? How am I going to conduct my day?
- 14:15Speaker 1: It's what we feel inside, what we want to allow
- 14:21Speaker 1: inside and being ready for any attack.
- 14:26Speaker 2: The power of prayer.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Prayer is just not oh, I'm just shooting up wishes
- 14:30Speaker 1: up to God and Jesus in the Holy Spirit. No,
- 14:32Speaker 1: it's having that relationship, allowing him to be in your
- 14:36Speaker 1: life by thanking him.
- 14:38Speaker 2: This is the Ember Show, your host's Ember. Thank you
- 14:40Speaker 2: for pressing play.
- 14:41Speaker 1: I hope everybody has a great day, afternoon, night, depending
- 14:44Speaker 1: on when you were listening to this, and just remember
- 14:47Speaker 1: the best is yet to come.
